Britney

The Queen Spears

Topping our annual tally for the second year in a row is Beyoncé Knowles, the 28-year-old songstress who raked in an estimated $87 million during the 12-month period. As one half of hip-hop's most powerful couple, Beyoncé's earning-power is indicative of both her talent and her willingness to diversify, a must to make this top-earners list. In addition to endorsement deals with companies from Nintendo ( NTDOY.PK - news - people ) to L'Oreal and her ever-expanding Dereon fashion line, the 90-plus stops on her world tour grossed $86 million.

In at No. 2 is Britney Spears, whose $64 million haul will come as a surprise to many given her erratic behavior in years past. But rather than swing umbrellas or check into rehab, Spears spent last year logging the fifth highest-grossing tour in the world, bringing in $130 million in gross box office receipts over 90-pus nights. Making still more money for the tabloid staple are the pricey deals she's cut with Candies and Elizabeth Arden ( RDEN - news - people ) fragrances.

Bey and Brit are those rich girls.
